| Abstract: | Three methods for testing the equality of nonindependent proportions were compared with, the use of Monte Carlo techniques. The three methods included Cochran's test, an ANOVA F test, and Hotelling's T2 test. With respect to empirical significance levels, the ANOVA F test is recommended as the preferred method of analysis. Oftentimes an experimenter is interested in testing the equality of several proportions. When the proportions are independent Kemp and Butcher (1972) and Butcher and Kemp (1974) compared several methods for analysing large sample binomial data for the case of a 3 x 3 factorial design without replication. In addition, Levy and Narula (1977) compared many of the same methods for analyzing binomial data; however, Levy and Narula investigated the relative utility of the methods for small sample sizes. |
